More girls than boys smoke and drink, say gardaí
The survey of more than 3,000 second year and fifth year students in the Waterford/Kilkenny and Kerry garda divisions showed one-quarter of females smoke at least once a week, compared to 22% of male students.
When asked if they had been drunk in the last month, 34% of girls and 31% of boys said they had, according to the Garda Research Unit study.
